LESSON 3: LITERATURE REVIEW

Literature Review is a type of academic paper that showcases substantial

results and logical reasoning. It follows a systematic method of
discovering and expounding on a particular topic of interest in literary
texts.

A literary analysis is not merely a summary of a literary work. Instead, it

is an argument about the work that expresses a writer’s personal
perspective, interpretation, judgment, or critical evaluation of the work.
This is accomplished by examining the literary devices, word choices, or writing structures the
author uses within the work. The purpose of a literary analysis is to demonstrate why the
author used specific ideas, word choices, or writing structures to convey his or her message.

A certain literary work can be interpreted using various forms of literary criticisms or theories
for deeper, more meaningful discussions about a literary piece. Each form of literary criticism
focuses on different aspects of a literary work and provides a unique perspective on the work.

1. Formalism. Formalism is a form of literary criticism that focuses on the formal elements of
a literary work, such as its structure, language and style. Formalists analyze the patterns,
motifs, and symbols present in the work to understand its significance.
2. Feminism. Feminist criticism is a form of literary criticism that examines the
representation of gender and sexuality in literary works. It focuses on how women are
portrayed in literature and how these portrayals reflect and perpetuate gender roles and
stereotypes.
3. Marxism. Marxist criticism is a form of literary criticism that examines the relationship
between literature and society. It analyzes how literary works reflect and challenge social
and economic structures and explores how literature can be used as a tool for social change.
4. Reader-Response. Reader-response criticism is a form of literary criticism that focuses on
the reader’s response to a literary work. It examines how the reader’s experiences and
beliefs shape their interpretation of the work.

Basic parts of Literary Criticism:

I. Introduction. This contains the details about the material such

as the title, author, publishing date, and significance of writing.
II. Summary. This part tells briefly what the literary text is about.
III. Analysis. It employs literary criticisms such as Formalism,
Marxism, or Feminism
IV. Interpretation. It creates the central idea of the elements of a
literary text.
V. Evaluation. Suggests other elements that may be added to make
the reading experience broader.

AFRICA
David Diop

Africa my Africa
Africa of proud warriors in ancestral Savannahs
Africa of whom my grandmother sings
On the banks of the distant river
I have never known you
But your blood flows in my veins
Your beautiful black blood that irrigates the fields
The blood of your sweat
The sweat of your work
The work of your slavery
Africa, tell me Africa
Is this your back that is bent
This back that breaks under the weight of
humiliation
This back trembling with red scars
And saying yes to the whip under the midday sun?
But a grave voice answers me
Impetuous child that tree, young and strong
That tree over there
Splendidly alone amidst white and faded flowers
That is your Africa springing up anew
springing up patiently, obstinately
Whose fruit bit by bit acquires
The bitter taste of liberty.

STILL I RISE
By Maya Angelou

You may write me down in history

With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?

Why are you beset with gloom?
’Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.

Just like moons and like suns,

With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.

Did you want to see me broken?

Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops,
Weakened by my soulful cries?

Does my haughtiness offend you?

Don't you take it awful hard
’Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin’ in my own backyard.

You may shoot me with your words,

You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.

Does my sexiness upset you?

Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?

Out of the huts of history’s shame

I rise
Up from a past that’s rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.

6
 Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.
